Veteran's writing till money comes in (6)
I believe the answer is:
diting
'veteran's' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'till money comes in' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'money' could be 'tin' (old-fashioned slang term for money) and 'tin' is located in the answer.
'till' could be 'dig' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'dig' is present in the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of the clue (or it may be nonsense).
'writing' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
I've seen this clue in The Times.
Want a hint initially instead of a full solution?
